| The track going off to the right was once the C&NW Ridge Runner line, which ran out to Lancaster with several additional spurs extending throughout far southwest Wisconsin. By the mid-'80s all was abandoned except for a stub serving Central Soya in Fitchburg. When they closed that location c. 2004-05, the line was cut back still further. Now only two customers, Vita Plus and Capital Newspapers, are served in the Fish Hatchery Road vicinity. Nothing used the line the train is on from the last UP train to Janesville in October 1996, until the Lycon plant opened in Oregon in September 2014. |
